Noise Assessment

Environmental and occupational noise assessment … and more

BioLogiQ can carry out occupational noise monitoring in Ireland for occupational exposure and environmental noise monitoring to legal and BS4142 standards. However, we don’t just produce tick-box legal assessments – we produce actionable reports that can address noise issues at source. In addition, we can also carry out narrow band frequency analysis of tonal noise which is a very powerful and useful tool for environmental assessment, source identification, noise and vibration control, machine fault diagnosis and many other applications.

Occupational noise control

For example, the Control of Noise at Work Regulations actually requires organisations to implement noise control measures rather than just handing out PPE. Our occupational noise reports provide a programme of action that details precisely what constitutes “best practice” to meet all the requirements of the Control of Noise at Work Regulations in your specific circumstances. It is a pragmatic working document, designed for the use of managers and safety professionals, enabling them to implement effective action to manage the risks as cost effectively as practical.

Environmental noise control

In addition to conventional environmental noise measurement / monitoring to BS4142 and EPA best practice, we also add the options of source identification and recommendations for noise control in Ireland. These can extend the exercise into something much more useful where there are problems in meeting specifications or when complaints arise despite noise levels being within legal limits.

Working in collaboration with the vast engineering expertise of the Industrial Noise & Vibration Centre we can solve noise problems using innovative, engineering techniques in such a cost effective manner that they can make projects self-financing. In some cases they can even lead to ongoing energy-related savings.
